I arrived at 10:20 PM, and the restaurant was supposed to close at 11:30 PM. As soon as I walked in, the hostess checked her watch and, instead of welcoming me, immediately informed me that they would be closing at 11:30. Completely unnecessary and rude! As if I wasn’t allowed to enjoy my meal within their official hours. After this hostile reception, I sat down, and nobody came to serve me. I had to call someone myself because I was completely ignored. The attitude of the staff was disrespectful and unprofessional, making it clear that they didn’t want me there. I finished eating at 10:50 PM, and not once was I offered dessert. Completely incompetent staff! They clearly just wanted me to leave as soon as possible. I visited this place because a friend recommended it, but if I had known about this disgraceful service, I would have never stepped foot there. The environment is toxic, the staff is unwelcoming, and they treat customers as if they are a burden. The only good thing is the meat, which is actually decent, but it’s absolutely not worth the terrible experience. I will never return, and I strongly advise everyone to stay away from this place! If you expect even basic respect, avoid this restaurant...

There is something to be said for a chain restaurant to be international. You’ve got to do everything right - please all of the people all of the time. The Knife is no exception. When my husband took us here for lunch, I had no idea since I’m not a meat eater. But WOW. From start to finish, the experience and cuisine were amazing. And for a charcoal grilled meat eatery to offer a smorgasbord of vegetarian and vegan dishes is delightful. The Knife does it with style and ambiance. They even offer sushi in the buffet, a big plus for my daughter. So at our table we had a one major meat eater, a picky 12-year old eater and a vegan. We could t have been happier. Only tip to The Knife: since the buffet is your shining star, why is it hidden in the back? Major feature for first time meat eaters as it is a site to behold. A bit of confusion when entering: where is it? A hidden gem that needs to shine front...
